4th Chapter
Jared Evan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah check the one I wasn't rock fan
I knew the police before they had Roxanne
and then I heard ringle when I act the p**sy is guarded
so part in it's hip hop thing and just started
yes now it's me upon the stage
I took you my letter wrote on the first page like Jimmy
But John Bono was my fav,
and there's no other precaution instead I'd rather be
we hit loud, louder than a factory
and gave me your stairway that happen simply to the V
I clap gone for every because he had the cream
I'ma pouring up but I'm familiar with my journey
this is the Janice is of all my dreams
I'm a boss I spring steam the 16
there's nothing else that I could tell me who's next?
this is my ball he need a rhapsody

And we just wanna rock now
throw your hands up, throw your hands up aha
and we just wanna rock now
throw your hands up, throw your hands up aha

Check the two was a different avenue
I wasn't fighting 'cause I listened to the fool
try to reach nirvana but my sound guard and grew
radio was in my head when pop no honey blue
Red Hot Chilly Peppers had stacks with the magic
under the bridge is where I found Lenny Kravitz
and was sublime the way probably went it add it
got it's such a young age too bad that he wasn't.
no doubt now I'm trying to figure out
we eleven when I was seven but where they act now
so I turn it upside down
getting play with Guns and Roses 'cause I was a sweet child
.thought me how to sing in style
but Michael Jackson was the one that made me feel bad, who's bad
I send my condolences to his fans
that real is not gone 'cause I can feel it .then

And we just wanna rock now
throw your hands up, throw your hands up aha




and we just wanna rock now
throw your hands up, throw your hands up aha

Overall Meaning

The song "4th Chapter" by Jared Evan is a nostalgic reflection on the artist's journey through music, referencing various artists and genres that influenced him along the way. The first verse begins by noting that he wasn't always a fan of rock music, but rather started with an appreciation for early hip hop, including the group The Police (before their hit "Roxanne") and rapper Rakim. He then switches to discussing his own experience with hip hop and how he got started performing, namechecking artists like Jimi Hendrix and John Bonham (of Led Zeppelin) as favorites.


The chorus of the song is a call to "just wanna rock now" and encourages listeners to throw their hands up and get into the music. The second verse picks up with a different avenue of music, mentioning Evan's attempt to reach "nirvana" and his eventual discovery of alternative rock bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers and Lenny Kravitz. He also mentions Sublime and Guns N' Roses, and how these bands influenced his own music style.


The overall theme of the song is one of gratitude for the many influences that have shaped Evan's music over the years. It's a tribute to the wide range of genres and artists that have contributed to the evolution of music as a whole, and a celebration of the power of music to connect people across generations and cultures.
